The ammo pouch, well it was donated by me. Just something I thought I'd toss in the door prize mix.

Thank you very much for that. It made it back to the middle part of Tennessee.

This year was a great event... Somewhat bittersweet for me, but at the same time a wonderful reunion! Great to see all the regulars and meet some people for the first time.

Yessir Bob, she was. She said that half way there she had second thoughts. Didn't know if it was such a good idea. I told her I thought this was RIGHT where she needed to be. Not only did she need to go through this, but we needed each other to face this and get through it together. We had tears in our eyes several times over the last few days but mostly smiles.

EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE was so happy she was there... Not only that but myself and MANY people that I overheard expressed wishes that she would keep coming to the events in the future... I didn't talk to her much other then when we were discussing the triggers for a few seconds but I had a smile on my face every time I looked at her and just like now typing this, a few watery eyes.... Cathy always has been and always will be part of the family.... As far as I am concerned she is the Honorary Mom of all of us weirdo's!!

Honorary Mom is a title I would be most proud to have!!

(I am just trying to find my way around on the Forum, Gene always tried to get me on here but I didn't understand how it worked, I just waited for updates from him on what was going on. )

Dave,
There is no reason to be humbled, flattered maybe cause I think everyone on this board thinks the same as I do I'm sure. I for one am proud of you being able to take the reigns of this great board and run with it. Not breaking stride, and more than once. Maybe men aren't supposed to talk like this, however I for one has a little love in my heart for people like you.
Good luck and thanks for putting up with me and others like you do.
Bob

Beautiful post Bob.
Can't wait to finally meet all you guys next year at the shoot. Especially Dave. This year, there is an Illinois fun shoot this weekend, money is tight....

@ Cathy: You seem to be doing great on the message board!
Not only that, you spell better than most of us misfits.

Honorary Mom...I like that too.

Ms. Cathy,

So glad you made it to the event, I was not able to make it this year but I have been to your home in Belton for the last two and yall were great hosts...

I hope to see you at the shoot next year, or if you get a chance to come on down to the low country you can come to one of the ones we have down here.

Cathy .... nice meeting you at the shoot. I was that tall, fat, ugly, old man with the GTA shirt that said "Allan aka Pappy" on it.
Welcome to the forum.

Hi Cathy!
It was great to see you again this year and I am very glad you decided to make the long trip to be there again with this big family of unique characters. I have never been much of a talker or a joiner, and usually find big social gatherings to be kind of awkward and intimidating. But this group, and folks like you, make EVERYONE feel like a welcome, and valued member of the family. That says a quite a bit about the legacy of the GTA and its founders and members.
Thank you very, very much,
Lloyd

Still compiling photos of the event. Thanks to Allan and Geoffrey for the high quality snaps. I will be sending Hargis a flash drive with all of our pictures for him to compile and make us a disk. If anyone else has some good quality snaps to share, please let me know. I'd like to get this in the mail to him tomorrow if possible.
THANKS all!!!

ezman604 · « **Reply #333 on:** May 22, 2015, 05:09:24 PM »

Jump drive mailed to Hargis today for him to build us a slide/video show of the event. I'll get it posted on youtube as soon as he gets it to me.

On another note, I need to give a special recognition and thanks to a few of our folks.
Sunday there were very few of us left hanging around. Hargis wanted the tents left up until sometime Sunday so the rain could dry off them before tearing them down and packing them away. I want to give a very special thanks to MichaelM, Shawn (smack6969) & Tom (QVTom) for helping Hargis tear down the tents Sunday. Excellent to represent GTA guys!!! Many thanks from all of us.

Sorry I couldn't stay to help.

I ended up here in WV Sunday.

MichaelM · « **Reply #335 on:** May 22, 2015, 06:18:25 PM »

As much as I would like to take credit all I did was help get the big tent down on the ground.. I was so sick on Sunday (entirely my fault for not staying hydrated enough during the weekend(and maybe a couple drinks on sat night)) after we got it down I had to leave to make it home.... It was Shawn and Tom that did all the major work and deserves the credit!!!!

Next year if you all see me walking around without a bottle of water in my hand holler at me and threaten to shoot me..... if you see it again... grab a 10 meter gun and actually do it... I promise I will be gratefull

We(the ones who could not attend) would love to see a write up of the shoot. You know , who was there ,events, who won what, best shots of the day, best food, etc. . What's ya say?

uncle paulie · « **Reply #337 on:** May 24, 2015, 10:09:59 AM »

That would be great, Steve, but the problem is really that there was just so much happening that it was one of those times the only way to describe it is "You just had to be there!" I really do not think any one person could possibly relate the account of all that went on over the course of the shoot in one post. I think you'll just have to read this years posts and make plans for next year. I'll tell you one thing, I have never in my 66 years ever seen so many folks in one place with a perpetual, ear to ear grin on their collective faces for so many days in a row! And I was at Woodstock! Just goes to show that the GTA bridges all barriers, even the language barrier, I'm still trying to figure out half of what David(Rocker) and Richard(Ambi550c) were talking about! LOL! Just one special shot for Joe....Im guessing Y'ALL is a town just north of the fairgrounds!

This is all EXACTLY correct.... there is literally so many small defining moments of gatherings like this that if your not there its just to hard to explain in words...actually words just aren't adequate enough to describe....

How many people were there?
Surely. someone could write a review.
